In 2 experiments, attacks by dominant colony males of a domesticated rat strain (Sprague-Dawley; N= 48) on conspecific strangers introduced into the colony included both a full range of threat displays and actual biting attack. These dominant males attacked and bit both anesthetized and unanesthetized strangers, but threat displays and bites to anesthetized rats were limited. Lesions resulting from these bites were nonrandomly distributed, with most damage to the head and upper back and very few bites to ventral surfaces. When introduced strangers were left in the colonies for several days, 66% were killed, indicating that domesticated rats are capable of lethal attacks on conspecifics without external provocation.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
